Miras Destekli Yenileme Sürecinde Temel Paydaşların ve Fon Sağlayan Kurumların Katkıları: Lefkoşa Surlar İçi Örneği

Abstract

Finansmanın mevcudiyeti ve finansmana uygunluk ile kilit paydaşların katılımı, kültürel mirasın miras odaklı yenilenmesinin ilerlemesinde ve sonuçlarında önemli faktörlerdir. Kıbrıs'ta, Lefkoşa Surlar İçi’nde, yirmi yıldan beri miras odaklı bir yenilenme süreci devam etmektedir. Adanın siyasi sorunları, özellikle kültürel mirasın korunmasının finansmanı konusunda, yenilenme sürecini farklı şekillerde etkilemiştir. Bu makalenin temel amacı, kültürel mirasın korunmasında kilit finansman kurumlarını ve kaynaklarını belirlemek ve Lefkoşa Surlar İçi’ndeki (kuzey) miras odaklı yenilenme süreci sırasında seçilmiş kilit paydaşlar aracılığıyla bunların katkılarını araştırmaktır. Araştırma vaka çalışması yaklaşımını benimseyerek, kamusal alan projelerinin bu alanda yoğun olması nedeniyle Selimiye Mahallesi'ndeki 15 proje üzerinden bu konuları araştırıyor. Araştırma, dönüşüm sürecinin ve sonuçlarının başarısında uygulama ve yönetimin iki önemli faktör olduğunu ortaya koyuyor.

The Contribution of Key Stakeholders and Funding Bodies in the Heritage-Led Regeneration Process: The Case of the Walled City of Nicosia

Abstract

The availability of and eligibility for funding, and the engagement of key stakeholders are important factors in the progress and outcomes of the heritage-led regeneration of cultural heritage. In Cyprus, in the Walled City of Nicosia, there has been an ongoing process of heritage-led regeneration since two decades. The island’s political issues have affected the regeneration process in different ways, especially as regards funding the conservation of cultural heritage. The main aim of this paper is to identify key funding bodies and resources in the conservation of cultural heritage, and to investigate their contributions through selected key stakeholders during the heritage-led regeneration process in the Walled City of Nicosia (northern part). The research adopts a case study approach and investigates these issues through 15 projects in the Selimiye Quarter because public space projects are dense in this area. The research reveals that implementation and management are two important factors in the success of the regeneration process and its outcomes.
